Hi all! This snippet guide works with the basic Yii demo application and enhances it. It continues in my series of simple Yii tutorials. Previous two contain basic info about MVC concept, exporting to Excel and other topics so read them as well, but they are meant for Yii v1. I started with them cca in year 2011:

... and today I am beginning with Yii 2 so I will also gather my snippets and publish them here so we all can quickly setup the yii-basic-demo just by copying and pasting. This is my goal - to show how-to without long descriptions.---

I found these two pages where things are explained: [link](https://www.savjee.be/2019/04/gitlab-ci-deploy-to-ftp-with-lftp/) [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49632077/use-gitlab-pipeline-to-push-data-to-ftpserver) and I just copied something. You only need to create 1 file in your GitLab repository. It is named .gitlab-ci.yml and it should contain following code:.gitlab-ci.yml in the root of your repository with following content. It will fire a Pipeline job on commit using "LFTP client" automatically. If you want to do it manually, add "when:manual", see below.

```script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp
- lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $USERNAME,$PASSWORD $HOST; mirror -Rnev ./ $TARGETFOLDER --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/ --exclude vendor --exclude web/assets --exclude web/index.php --exclude web/index-test.php --exclude .gitlab-ci.yml" only: - master   when: manual
 
``` I just added some exclusions (listed belowsee the code) and will probably add **--delete** in the future. Read linked webs. - exclude vendor = huge folder with 3rd party SW which is not in GIT
 
- exclude web/assets = also some cache
 
- exclude web/index.php = in GIT is your devel index with DEBUG mode enabled. You 
 
**Important info:** Your FTP server might block foreign IPs. If this happens, your transfer will fail with error 530. You must findonut wanna have this file in productive environment
 
- exclude web/index-test.php = tests are only on your computer and in GIT

GitLab's IPs and whitelist them. [This link]( https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/gitlab_com/#ip-range) might help.
